That reminds me of another one ... "Leave yourself an out" ... something the last 4 cars in a 5 car pile-up could have used LOL Required safety equipment and track rules/courtesy, what to expect your first time at the course... What is an apex, off-camber, pushing, loose etc. road course terminology. ...N/A vs forced induction for road course could be good...

If this goes well I'd love to see a dedicatedBuckner blog thread ... maybe 'Bucknums house of driving" or "Carvers Corner"

No Problem ArkySS. I look forward to do many more posts, and soon I will have my website up with the BLOG and Videos sharing all kinds of Camaro driving tips!!!
It is really going to be an awesome blog site! I have so many videos I want to create for people to get the most out of thier Camaros as possible. I plan on putting together a video series that will act as a Virtual Racing School Please put the word out. The site will be at: www.jeffbucknum.com I have not updated my site for a few years, but it will soon be updated with lots of information and an active blog.... |

Hey Jeff !! What a hoot!! I once watched your dad race the infamous "vinyl top" #9. Then when you and Donohue teamed up for the gen 5 shake down I all but lost it!! In any event many of the owners need to be re-introduced to the road race heritage. I'm attempting to do that by organizing a Camaro Corral for your Laguna Seca event, looking forward to seeing you there!! As far as instruction, I'd all but die for it!! In my estimation your best bet is going to be with the SCCA "club" events. Specifically their PDX events. For example we are in the Southern Pacific division. I haven't seen the 2011 division schedule yet but our region, Cal Club will have three PDX'es at Buttonwillow Raceway. I know they have in the past had PDX'es at both Firebird and Phoenix Int'l. The Atlanta and Saint Louis regions are HUGE in PDX events. My suggestion would be to pick an event, announce your going to be available and I beleive the Camaro owners will show. For example the guy in Winnamucca isn't that far from Miller Motorsports Park and I know they have SCCA PDX'es. What you've offered is quite admirable!! I'm blowed away!! How's about you convince Bondurant to get Camaro's for his school???!!!

Hey Jeff !! Here is a deal for ya!! All you need to do is plan a pre-holiday vacation to Disney Land with a side to the Peterson Auto Museum then on December 19 & 20th Speed Ventures will be at Buttonwillow. I just checked the entry list and I'm confident Aaron would make us a "Camaro" run group We could call all So Cal Camaros and we could wear you thin!! $190 per day, can't beat that!! The thing is always a blast!! last year we even had two guys show up in a rental C6!! They now rent Camaros out of LA. What'da think??

I do like that idea. Let me look at my schedule and get back with you on those dates! I am headed out the door right now, but I will look into those dates and see what I can do to make it out to Buttonwillow. I think its a great idea and I will be back in touch soon.
Cheers! Jeff |

I'm interested in the whole DRIVING TIPS/TEACHING PROGRAM. These cars have a lot of power even before we start adding HP. Driving a Camaro with 500 and 600 HP now the way a lot of us are is a whole new ball game. I can use all the coaching I can get. I just saved your website. Looking forward to keeping up with your coaching. I'm already testing a little drifting and I suck at it. LOL!!!
